Scott L. Schwartz, the towering figure who transitioned from a professional wrestling career to a notable acting role in Hollywood classics like Ocean’s Eleven, has passed away at the age of 65.

Scott truly loved life and everyone that he met along the way. When he wasn’t acting, wrestling or telling jokes he spent his time visiting children with cancer at children’s hospitals.”
